Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/3, ie 3.

3 and thus y would = 12

multiply both with y/4
1/3y = 4
(1/3y)(y/4) = 4(y/4)
1/12 = y
y = 1/12#

3 because you multiply the denominator, to get -4 on my own. so it would want to be -4x=-7(3) because you cancelled out the three on the left area, and delivered the three to the right area. for this reason, it would want to be -4x=-21 you do not multiply to get the x on my own. that would want to nicely be branch. considering that, the question requested for what you had to multiply, it would want to be 3.

Assume question should read as:-
(1/3).y = 4
y = 12

you don't multiply...you divide each side by 1/3
